Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

Donald Trump's open defiance of a lawful Supreme Court order is an impeachable offense. The House of Representatives should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President. The future of our nation depends on it.

Sick of seeing arguments about the inefficacy of collectively turning off the money faucet to someone who has personally funded global efforts to strip away the already-precarious rights and safety of trans folks. If you want to live that life, do it away from me and stop wasting time equivocating.

Not for nothing but that first sentence is patently false. Congress has power to regulate commerce with foreign nations! Which, as in the domestic case (indeed much more clearly than in the domestic case), doesn't just mean mercantile trade, it means goings-on

As DOJ argues that federal courts have no authority to order "any particular acts of diplomacy," I want to remind everyone that SCOTUS let Matthew Kacsmaryk seize control of Biden's border policy for 10 months and micromanage diplomatic negotiations with Mexican officials. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

the thing about wurman's claim that there was "an entire literature" is that it was, at best, a gross misstatement and, quite likely, a lie. and just because he is willing to fight on that lie doesn't mean anyone should entertain his project as anything more than what it is

checking in on this now that trump is explicitly ignoring SCOTUS: a magical resistance did not appear. resistance must be nurtured. it’s slow work and we would be much further along if political leaders like Schumer had been planning for this instead sitting on their hands

Imagine you spent the last decade building a career around being wrong abt the gravest threats to speech in America. When this becomes clear, you could a) either admit it, or b) relabel the threats to say that you were right all along. You'll never guess which route Thomas Chatterton Williams took!

In case you're wondering, the Trump admin's official position at this point is HOW DARE YOU CALL HIM "MARYLAND MAN" and Fox News panels are out here mocking the idea that people are calling him a father. They want their base to stop thinking of him as a human being.

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were women—migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as “criminals.” This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.
